"After a long day of LA adventures, my date and I decided to get take out for dinner so we can be a little lazy. Neither of us were in the mood for anything in particular, and somehow we ended up picking Noodle St Monrovia. We weren't too hungry since we had some snacks earlier, so my date suggested we get a noodle dish and a dumplings dish to share. He phoned in the order to be time efficient, so sexy, and went with their Signature Beef Noodle Soup $14.50) and their Juicy Pork Buns $12.80). Their estimated time was 15 20 minutes for the order to be ready. Plenty of parking available in this plaza. The inside looks really clean and modern, with a decent amount of customers for a Monday night. Our food was ready when we got there. I like that the staff checks your name and phone number, and re reads your order to make sure they give you the right order. I also appreciated the packaging. The soup was kept separate from the noodles and had an extra bag around it to prevent spills. The only weird thing is that they only gave us one set of utensils for these two portions. I think the portion is good for the pricing. There was definitely some user error, which I will completely own up to. I put in too much of their chili/chili oil concoction into the Signature Beef Noodle Soup... like so spicy I had to go wash my lips after eating. And my date was just sweating, but ate the food like a champ. My bad... Sorrrryyyyy!! Basically don't put in all the chili they give you. Just go a little at a time if you're doing take out. The dumplings were not juicy as imagined, or compared to other xiao long bao spots. Din Tai Fung is still the best. It might be due to the nature of take out so I'm not docking points on that, but we also thought it was strangely sweet. My date also had to cut up extra ginger since the amount provided wasn't enough. I think I'm being very fair with this review giving the nature of take out and my user error. Hopefully we can come back in person for a better experience next time."

"Fantastic Takeout Experience from Silk Road Uyghur CuisineI recently had the pleasure of ordering takeout from Silk Road Uyghur Cuisine in Boston, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. I ordered the Dry Fried Noodle, Big Plate Chicken, and Dumplings, and I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the food and the service provided.First and foremost, the flavors of the dishes were absolutely exceptional. The Dry Fried Noodle was packed with a perfect balance of textures and flavors, showcasing the chef's mastery in creating a delightful combination of crispiness and tenderness. The Big Plate Chicken was a true highlight, with tender chicken, aromatic spices, and a rich sauce that had me savoring each and every bite. The Dumplings were plump and bursting with savory fillings that left me wanting more.Despite the fact that I had to drive for an hour to get home, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the food was still warm when I unpacked my order. This is a testament to the careful packaging and attention to detail by the restaurant's staff. It's evident that they take great care in ensuring that their customers receive their orders in the best possible condition.Silk Road Uyghur Cuisine has surpassed my expectations in terms of taste, quality, and service. Their ability to maintain the warmth of the food during transit, even over a long drive, is commendable. I highly recommend trying their delicious dishes and experiencing the authentic flavors of Uyghur cuisine."
